Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name, birth date, or other term entered in a search tool goes directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. Stephens County Warrant Records does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We retain an email or other direct message as needed to respond. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers receive basic technical details when a page loads, including:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files stored on a device. They and analytics services help produce combined traffic measures, such as popular pages and exit points. Browser controls can block cookies, though doing so may change how parts of the website function.
What We Do With This Data
- Diagnosing technical faults and maintaining performance
- Routing a search request to the selected outside provider
- Measuring which resources visitors use
- Operating and improving the website
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Warrant Data on File
Stephens County Warrant Records does not host, compile, maintain, or sell a database of warrants or personal warrant records. It provides general directions to the Stephens County Sheriff's Office and the issuing courts. Georgia has no single public statewide warrant database. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports or records about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy policies, retention periods, and disclosure rules govern information submitted through those tools. We do not control those choices. Review the provider's policy before entering personal information.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Stephens County Sheriff's Office, Georgia and local court pages, legal-help resources, or outside search providers. Once you leave this website, the destination's privacy terms apply. Read them before supplying personal details.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads. Their tracking is governed by their policies.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be available to:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security measures are used for information under our control. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
This website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such information, we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Rights may vary with the law where a visitor lives. The Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. §§ 50-18-70 through 50-18-74, governs access to records held by Georgia public agencies; it does not convert this private website into a government custodian. Subject to applicable law, you may:
- Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
- Have us fix information that is wrong
- Request that we erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this policy. A new version becomes effective when it is posted here with a revised date.
Effective date: September 10, 2026
